it always the same ... not using these things often results in utter confusion
when finally I need to do this.
I have a standard page with a large form.
On that page there is a text field that the user can ...
- enter an value directly
- depending on previously made selections further up in the form the
value is already set and cannot be changed
- depending on previously made selections further up in the form there
is a button/link next to the text field that should open a modal dialog with a
list of strings to pick from (the field is not editable direcly).
My problem is that 3rd option.
I already have a small component that loads the available strings from the
database and shows them in a table. The user can then click a [pick this] -
hyperlink next to an entry (or close the selection box without picking
anything. The picked
value should be put into the text field.
I succeeded partially with the help of the Ajax Examples. Tried AjaxModalDialog
as well as AjaxModalUpdate. I can show a dialog with both elements and the
correct data, but from there? ..... I am lost.
Which one to use, AjaxModalDialog or AjaxModalUpdate?
How do I get the selected String back / put it into the underlying
object-to-be-edited, update the display and close the dialog.
Can anyone provide me with a simple example?
Thanks a lot
